She's survived execution, exile, and the edge of known space. Now she gets to prove it wasn't for nothing. The truth has been worth every scar. Her family, the GC, the destruction of PS683 — the pieces are finally coming together. For the first time in a long time, Dani knows which side she's on. And she's not fighting alone. The Houston is being held captive by a corrupt government, and liberating it means going to war against the very people she spent her career fighting alongside. With her crew at her back and everything she loves finally within reach, Dani flies into the most important battle of her life. Dani has never felt stronger. Her words reach the GC fleet before her weapons do. But when the enemy brings out a weapon Dani has seen before, the devastation that follows will bring her to her knees. Houston's Peril is the fifth and final episode of Season One of the Ardent Redux Saga, a fast-paced space opera series with found family at its core, a heroine led by honor and compassion, and a galaxy-wide conspiracy that finally shows its face.
